Tilapia a la Portuguesa

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs tilapia fillets
• 2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small onion, sliced julienne
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 sweet pepper, chopped (red or green, or a combination of both)
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup Chardonnay wine (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (to garnish)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375º.

2. 2

   Place fillets in a baking dish.

3. 3

   Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Layer vegetables over fish, and add wine if using.

5. 5

   Season veggies with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Cover baking dish tightly with foil.

7. 7

   Bake 25-30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, and veggies are tender.

   Another way to do this is to pan fry the fish in a little olive oil, sautee the vegetables until tender and spoon the sauce over the fish.

   I just think that the oven is easier.
